I began this series of blog posts yesterday with a look at the first part of the Great Commission. From the command to “go and make disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, we discerned two great expectations for GCF.
The first: expect God to use GCF [...]

As I was traveling over the weekend I listened to a few sermons from a wide variety of pastors: Charles Stanley, Jon Weece (Southland Christian Church) and Mark Driscoll.
Driscoll had an excellent sermon on the Cross from his doctrine series – if you don’t mind the fact that he used the phrase “I don’t give [...]

The great myth of church leadership is that there are great leaders who operate quite independently; dictating to a mass following what new and exciting trends the community of faith will be pursuing or living out together.
Yes there are great leaders, but truly great leaders never operate in genuine independence. Those who do are usually [...]

I have decided NOT TO move to a new blog (at least not yet). Main reason: I don’t have time. So, here we are for at least a few more weeks

Several months ago I remember reading an interview with Bill Hybels, the pastor of Willowcreek Community Church. In the article, Hybels noted how he has a highly organized, goal-oriented, task-focused, type-A personality. He recounted how he had developed a way for him to get out of bed in the morning by first putting his knees [...]

A new attraction recently opened up in Boone County Kentucky. It’s called the “Creation Museum”. Now, as I understood the news reports this weekend, the 65,000 square foot museum is a bit of a mix of Disney World and the Smithsonian’s Natural History Museum.

I made a whirlwind trip last weekend to my home state of West Virginia. I traveled with Sydney, my 5 year old daughter. This was the third spring pilgrimage that Sydney and I have made together to West Virginia. The occassion of our trip this time: my Dad – who will be 55 years old in [...]
Is Desiring Life Such a Bad Thing?

My grandmother died in January. She had just turned 77 years old about a week and half before she passed away. A large anneurism (sp?) was found on her upper aorta. Repairing the problem required two surgeries. The anneurism was so large and the surgery so intense that my Meemaw suffered severe brain trauma and [...]

In some of my conversations with bloggers who are atheists or agnostics, I have been accused of being irrational or unintelligent. Recently, I was even called fanatical for even having a faith.
Some of these other bloggers are significantly more well-versed than I am in philosophy and in science. There have been times when I have [...]
